Kneed roots.
Bruguiera trees have kneed (knee-like) roots that provide firm support on the soft soil.
Prop roots.
Rhizophora have stilt or prop roots which anchor the trees firmly in the muddy soil.
Aerial roots.
At low tide, aerial roots of the Avicennia and Sonneratia trees are exposed, allowing to take in oxygen. Hence, aerial roots are also known as breathing roots. Aerial roots of the Avicennia are pencil-like. Can grow up to 30cm in height. While those of Sonneratia are thicker at the base and peg-like.
